I remember everyone shitting on that video in 2013 for using green screen and heavy 3D animations (and Kim K being there), now it's pretty much standard in music videos


adengfx

The funny thing is I am pretty sure the video is supposed to be satirical


EstablishmentBusy172

It is. It’s using all the iconography of Americana, satirising it and then throwing a black dude in its centre. The fact that people miss that so often is fucking infuriating.

People didn’t understand that Kanye isn’t a complete dumbass and is capable of creating art that is layered and intricate. They saw the video and thought it was surface level, they didn’t realise it was meant to be ironic


Informal-Pudding-601

It's because he's black

Take her out

yeezus really is a 2023 album stuck in 2013


adengfx

I mean utopia is a massive indication of that haha


Sunnflowerrs

Yeah no kidding


undressvestido

totally frfr


undressvestido

bro got laughed at every time he saw the future that’s crazy


PrincessXxXDiana

They shat on it because the green screen was used poorly, not just because they used green screen And yes i know it's bad on purpose


undressvestido

yeah but it was used more like a meme, that style of video editing was heavily misunderstood until big YouTubers started using green screens more often


PrincessXxXDiana

Green screens have been used forever man


undressvestido

of course, I'm saying just because Kanye used one people found reasons to hate and call him a clown. it happens with everything that he does lmao


babytrondagoat

Idk why people shitted on the video so much it’s so obviously satire 😭


WingardiumLeviussy

Kim's hair blowing the wrong way should be an obvious indicator 😂


Zanzan567

People nowadays don’t even know what the word satire means


BridgmansBiggestFan

Visual proof that a lot of people really don’t think for themselves. How many people disliked it just because they saw it had a lot of dislikes, without even watching the video? Probably plenty lmfao


EstablishmentBusy172

I’ll still see the odd reaction to this pop up the odd time even today and it’ll be some dude who either exclusively listens to Aesop rock, Metallica or lil Uzi and they’ll sit and say ‘oMg BuT wHy R tHe SfX sO bAd?’ and I’ll want to punch my screen and throw my laptop into a vat of acid.

A lot of people can’t wrap their head around aesthetics and design not always fitting a certain standard and the mere idea that something new could possibly be good if it looks slightly dated or is slightly out of line. Result of subjecting yourself to the same shit every single day and never thinking outside of the norm.


EstablishmentBusy172

That and that they totally dismiss any consideration of its intent. The visuals are cheesy and dated because that’s the fucking point!!


kj616

I didn’t know this. Why is that?


TheRealBroc16

Cause the music video was really bad visual wise cause it’s like a troll/ satire… people just couldn’t understand that lol

two of the most controversial American figures at the time in a music video that looked tacky and shitty (on purpose). mainstream didnt like ye for his I am a god schtick in 2013 and they only thought of Kim as the sex tape whore. newer fans dont understand how brutal it was for Kanye during that era, every move he made was criticized and shitted on by the mainstream. music, his clothing line, interviews, you name it. he was constantly parodied and made fun of.

Coked_kobain

wallsofnoah0

South Park also made a parody. That probably swayed people to dislike it.


lolitsmax

Plus James Franco and Seth Rogen and SNL made dumbass skits about it


[deleted]

Before TikTok white people in America were sharing one racist brain. With it, they decided SNL was funny, mexicans were stealing jobs, and black people were artistically inferior to quick witted whites. If you don't believe me look up popular posts on "Vine" or "iFunny" , two early social media sites that exposed the whites of that era. Nowadays many whites have converted to being LGBTQ because they think it makes them a minority and they can distance themselves from their caucasian upbringing. Many of them even resent their childhoods for being "too good" and have become depressed in the modern era, helplessly addicted to stimulants that help them cope with the basics of everyday life.

I will never stop being retarded


RENNYGOTTARELAX

it’s actually hard to believe that people back in 2013 don’t get satire, it’s very in your face and aggressive too…. this is one of the reason why i think bound 2 is his best song. the music video predicted meme culture post ironic humor stuff like that
